re: Who is the best D coordinator in lsu history?

Charles McClendon would be my vote. He was the defensive coach for 9 years prior to being named HC. His last 4 the most points given up in a season was the 1961 team that gave up 57. The 1959 squad only gave up 29 in the regular season. It was a different era, but still very impressive.

Not his fault he don't read good. It only makes sense that our fanbase is a reflection of LA's general aptitude

From one of Chavis' Bios:

Over Chavis’ six years at LSU, the Tigers and Alabama were the only two SEC programs to rank in the league’s top four in scoring defense every year from 2009-14. LSU finished in the top 12 nationally in scoring defense five of six years under Chavis, highlighted by No. 2 and No. 4 in 2011 and 2014, respectively. The Tigers led the SEC in passing defense twice (2010, 2014) in his six years while they led the league in total defense his final season in 2014.

In 2011,
Ranked in the top five in the nation in four categories including total defense (No. 2 at 261.5), scoring defense (No. 2 at 11.29), pass efficiency defense (No. 3 with 95.58 rating) and rushing defense (No. 5 at 90.1). LSU also ranked No. 8 nationally in pass defense with 171.43 yards allowed per game.
13-0 regular season mark, the SEC title and a spot in the BCS National Championship Game.
